Re: Calling All Celts |
I made it through another, we actually saw a really good Garcia cover band called Tiger Rose at our local dive.
I figured a short walk it would be worth a listen, figuring if they were bad we could just walk home. However they turned out to be reallly good and sound was good to clear and not too load (which ain't easy in a small bar).

Re: Calling All Celts |
great song, here's my favourite modern version:
Whiskey In The Jarnot really a whiskey guy, but i'll definitely hoist a pint (or two) of Guinness when up in Boston
"The Workmans Friend"
When things go wrong and will not come right,
Though you do the best you can,
When life looks black as the hour of night -
A pint of plain is your only man.
When money's tight and hard to get
And your horse has also ran,
When all you have is a heap of debt -
A pint of plain is your only man.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange,
And your face is pale and wan,
When doctors say you need a change,
A pint of plain is your only man.
When food is scarce and your larder bare
And no rashers grease your pan,
When hunger grows as your meals are rare -
A pint of plain is your only man.
In time of trouble and lousey strife,
You have still got a darlint plan
You still can turn to a brighter life -
A pint of plain is your only man.
-Flann O'Brien
